Graeme was also at the carols in Sheffield with Sam and Edna.

There was a full scale article about Graham in the "Living Tradition" Dec 1999 - but unfortunately it is not one of those reproduced on the website.

Grame wrote over 500 hundred songs, his first one around 1950 (!!) He consciously left his work as a museum curator and went to an iron foundry, dredger and stone breaking in order to give himself a background in local industry and to experience the things he might write about.

He wrote the finest two lines in a song that I know. In the "Young Engineer" describing the buiding of the Forth Road Bridge by people from all over the country he finishes the song with the lines:

"When the men from the south and the men from the north
Will meet and complete the bridge over the Forth."

Thanks Graeme.
